Great, inspirational information
Opens one up to ideas and principles not thought of without experience. Especially the marketing ideas are applicable to many service oriented ventures, not just personal training.

Definitely got more value than what I paid for!
I love how it gave me insight on my training business and how I can take it and use it in a meaningful way.

It's a must have!
I was given an early copy by the author for review. This has, in no way, impacted my honest review.im still pretty new to the fitness industry so I can definitely say this book couldn't have come at a better time. I still have a lot to learn and try to take every opportunity I can to do so. When i started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. It was one chapter after another of information that just pulled me in. I am extremely thankful for this book and having access to a goldmine of tips that I'll be able to implement as I grow as a trainer. I immediately started making changes to my daily routine based off notes I had taken from reading. You can't not learn something from reading this. If you're a new trainer and need a solid place to start, start here!

Only Personal Trainers who want to be awesome should read this book
I highly recommend this book. If you are new to the fitness industry, you need to read it cover to cover. If you’ve been in it for awhile (I’ve been a trainer for 16 years) it will still be helpful to you. Chapters 10 and 11 were especially eye opening and would never worth the cost alone. I’ve got notes and highlighted sections on almost every page.Jonathan Goodman is a straight shooter and genuinely wants to you be a successful trainer. His direct writing style (with plenty of jokes sprinkled in) makes the info easy to read and apply, without wasting any fit pro’s valuable time. As someone who was in the industry for awhile, he really gets what we are going through and has a plan to help us be more successful. It’s all laid out very clearly in this book.Buy this book, and then go get Ignite the Fire and Viralnomics too. (Viralnomics completely changed my career)PS- I got to read a copy of this book early in exchange for an honest review, and doing so didn’t influence my review at all. This book really is that freaking awesome.

Pathway to success!
When John Goodman writes a book I am very eager to read it! This book covers topics in depth that most certifications only touch on briefly if you're lucky! It is a must read if you are just beginning your career. It's honest and real, John doesn't sugar coat anything. It's candid, witty and enlightening. Need to know more about social media algorisms and marketing...you got it. Certifications and CEC, also covered. The take-aways at the end of the chapter are great and there are also additional links on the topics covered to explore even more!

I wish this book were available when I first started!
Full disclosure: I was given an early copy by the author for review. This has, in no way, impacted my honest review.Since I got into the personal training business, I’ve ALWAYS emphasized getting better, learning more, networking, asking questions, and staying abreast with the latest research and trends. One resource I have used for the past 7 years is the The Personal Trainer Development Center created by Jonathan Goodman. The PTDC has been nothing but quality, honest content since day 1.I attribute a lot of my success of being ahead of my peers to the work Jon has done along with the contributors he’s had write for The PTDC. Jon’s latest publication lays almost the ENTIRE groundwork for how to be a successful personal trainer along with how to get started, how to sell, exercise programming, continuing education, marketing, and what to expect in the industry.I can not recommend this book enough (along with Jon's other resources). If you’re a personal trainer or strength coach, BUY this book.

Great for new trainer's looking to get into the business
I wish I had this book when I made the leap into a fitness career years ago. I've been a trainer for almost 10 years Jonathan Goodman's books (and online training academy) have changed the way I run my business. While I have received much of this information from his course (worth the investment if you're wondering what to do after reading this book) and employed a lot of the skills on my own throughout the years, having this knowledge initially would have been a massive life (and time) saver. Note: this book isn't for everyone. If you're well-established in your career, you've probably picked up and employ most or all of the info laid out in this book - but then again you're probably not considering this book either. I would recommend this book to a person looking to get into a career in fitness, a trainer with less than two-years into their career, or if you find yourself stuck without clients and need some inspiration on where to focus your efforts.

Work smarter not harder! Coach Jon gives
I was given an early copy by the author for review. This has, in no way, impacted my honest review. I was very impressed with all the information he delivers in the book. I can see why he is the authority for new and seasoned trainers. Anyone interested in health and fitness can benefit from his knowledge and resources. I highly recommend this book and I am looking forward to reading all his books and resources. Coach Jon is very intelligent, honest and resourceful! Shares his knowledge with all of us!! Up to you to take advantage of all that resource, education and knowledge.

A must read!
I’m glad I found Jonathan before starting my fitness career. I’m hoping to get my personal training certification early next year and all his books are pure gold. Thank you!
